God Of War: Ascension Multiplayer Trailer Is Violent

No one should be surprised to see that the upcoming multiplayer component of Ascension is unflinchingly brutal.

Sony sent along the new trailer for God of War: Ascension today, which mixes CG and in-game footage to paint a picture of what players can expect out of the upcoming multiplayer mode. In short, it looks like you're in for some serious throwdowns against your fellow God of War players, and when you die, you can expect a detailed glimpse of exactly how it happened.

The trailer also mentions details about the upcoming multiplayer beta, which will become available to PlayStation Plus members on January 8th.

God of War: Ascension releases on March 12. Watch the trailer below, and then let us know in the comments about your level of interest (or lack thereof) in God of War's upcoming attempt at multiplayer.
